There was quite the light show this evening with all the lightning and thundering! This image was taken through my bedroom window - I turned off all the lights in the house, put my camera on manual focus and aimed it at the trees....waiting for the right moment!

I was initially going to photograph the ring bindings of a notebook and forgot to turn on the flash - and so the image turned out all blurry with the low shutter speed. Despite this mistake, I kind of liked the way the image turned out, so I then re-took the same image, sans flash - but this time I moved the camera around in an "S"-shaped pattern to reveal this smokey abstract.
